Abortion has always been framed as a matter of personal choice, legal debate, or political compromise. But the sheer scale of human life lost to this practice is now impossible to ignore. According to recent reports, abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2025, claiming an estimated 73 million lives. To put that in perspective, that i...

Ah, multiculturalism – that grand experiment where diverse communities blend seamlessly into the fabric of Western society, right? Or so the narrative goes. But in places like Minnesota and beyond, a darker story has unfolded over the past few years, one involving alleged massive fraud in taxpayer-funded social services, predominantly run by Somali...

Vienna, once the heart of a vast European empire, is undergoing one of the fastest demographic shifts in Europe. Recent data highlights a profound change driven by high immigration, differing birth rates, and integration challenges. Key Verified Statistics Newborns and Citizenship: In recent years (likely 2024-2025 data), 40.5% of babies born in Vi...

In the ever-evolving battle between technological innovation and governmental oversight, the United Kingdom has once again positioned itself at the forefront of controversy. Just days into 2026, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's administration has escalated its feud with Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) over AI-generated images pr...

This is an era where words like "hate" are weaponised to silence dissent — where social media platforms deplatform conservatives for "hate speech," campuses ban speakers accused of promoting "hate," and public discourse polices language with ever-expanding definitions of bigotry — one glaring exception persists: socialism. Despite a historical reco...

Among other things, I've been mulling over Andrea Widburg's scathing take in her January 2026 American Thinker piece: Britain's once-mighty empire — spanning a quarter of the globe, coloured red on old maps — has withered into an "impotent, useless" shell, too radical even for moderate Muslim nations like the UAE. Widburg contrasts the moral steel ...

The UK's retreat on policing non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) in late 2025 marks a significant, if partial, victory for free speech advocates after years of controversy. But as the dust settles after December 2025 announcements from police leaders recommending the scrapping of the NCHI regime, the broader landscape suggests this "step back" could s...

Chrump, Chrump Chrump. . . . He's come to occupy the Left's minds like an infestation of weevils chawing away the ligaments of civilized society. But, of course, the whole wicked, Cluster-B, anomie-driven, insurrectionist extravaganza is a made-for-video production bought and paid for by a tiny coterie of super-wealthy megalomaniacs untouched by co...

In the quiet corridors of U.S. federal courts, a profound reckoning is unfolding for one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. As of January 2026, more than 2,100 women across the United States have filed lawsuits against Pfizer, alleging that the company's long-acting contraceptive injection, Depo-Provera, caused them to develop intracr...

I've been pondering the turbulent currents shaping modern Europe. My interest has been on Robert Jenrick's stark warnings about Britain's battle against home-grown Islamism, but urges a wider lens: the "death of Europe" itself, as articulated in Hans Vogel's provocative essay on Unz Review, and echoed in Donald Trump's recent blunt assessments. Jen...

The article by David Llewellyn-Smith in Macrobusiness.com.au (published January 12, 2026) delivers a blunt, pessimistic verdict on Australia's housing crisis: affordability has collapsed uniformly from "surf" (coastal cities like Sydney) to "turf" (regional paddocks and midsized areas). Home ownership is no longer realistic for most young Australia...

In a provocative December 31, 2025, article for American Thinker titled "Globalize the Second Amendment," author Arthur Schaper makes a bold case: Western nations should adopt America's constitutional right to keep and bear arms to restore citizen security. He argues that gun control policies have rendered governments illegitimate by disarming popu...

Dr. Naomi Wolf's provocative January 2026 tweet (quoted below), has sparked intense discussion across conservative circles, particularly after being highlighted in an American Thinker piece titled "Leftist women get, if possible, crazier, and I love Naomi Wolf's theory about why." In it, Wolf observes videos of liberal white women clashing with ICE...

 Vice President JD Vance's recent comments on Fox News spotlight a massive welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota, which he describes as symptomatic of a nationwide issue. In his January 2026 interview, Vance cited statistics claiming that 85% of Somalis in the United States (legal and illegal) collect some form of welfare benefits, arguing that e...

In the wake of controversies like the recent x.AI Grok "undressing" surge on X — where users prompt AI to generate sexualised deepfakes of real people without consent — the debate over free speech versus harm has intensified. John Stuart Mill, the 19th-century philosopher whose On Liberty (1859) remains a cornerstone of liberal thought, offers a ti...

Environmentalism once stood as a deeply humanistic endeavor. Its original purpose was straightforward and life-affirming: to protect and wisely manage natural resources so that human beings could live healthier, more prosperous, and more enjoyable lives. This conservation ethic celebrated human stewardship over nature, viewing a clean and sustainab...

The nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty – that fragile egg who falls from a wall and shatters beyond repair – has never felt more apt for modern Britain. While Humpty's fate was accidental, Britain's woes are entirely self-inflicted. As David Shipley argues in his recent piece for The Critic, the British state isn't collapsing under external forces; ...

In a heated session of Australia's Senate estimates in December 2025, Senator Alex Antic grilled officials from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) over the agency's failure to investigate reported child deaths following COVID-19 vaccinations. This scrutiny comes amid growing international concerns, including a U.S. investigation into simila...

Ursula von der Leyen, non-popularly-elected president of the European Commission* and ultra-girlboss extraordinaire, recently came out swinging against free speech in a white-knuckle speech in which she likened "malign information" to a "virus" that society must be inoculated against (by the state, obviously) via the "vaccine" of "prebunking," a eu...

The reality is this is not the birth of a new system but a resurrection of an old one. The ruling elite longs to drag us back to the age before democracy, before personal liberty, before human dignity… back to a world of aristocrats and obedient subjects, where a tiny class lived in luxury while everyone else laboured under harsh conditions to sust...
